Feeding kids shouldn’t be this stressful. It’s hard enough to get a well-balanced meal on the table that your kids will actually eat, but today’s parenting landscape adds a flood of sensationalized nutrition advice — and it can seriously crush your confidence. The added pressure of nurturing your child’s healthy relationship with food and their body can make it all feel so overwhelming.
Join ParentMap on Sept. 30 for a live ParentEd Talk with Jennifer Anderson, registered dietitian and founder of Kids Eat in Color. Jennifer will help you cut through the noise to discover what works for your unique family. With her food-freedom approach — trusted by more than 2 million parents — you’ll learn how to create feeding wins and nurture confident, lifelong healthy eating habits for kids.
Parents and caregivers will leave with:
- Practical and judgment-free feeding tips and tricks for every age
- Tools to spot unreliable nutrition information
- Ready-made scripts for talking about food and bodies to foster healthy relationships
